Ok,ok, let's slow down,LED's are a reg now, the 11' 2500$ SONY TV is OLED, yet Samsung has just developed a OLED Tv in the 7 series that is 42' inches for about 3500 to 4500$, which is why Samsung is the king!

i can not justify that price just to have a status symbol. lcd and plasma are very nice. the led is super nice, but ridiculously priced. but i understand why...

this is what I am talking about, I had the money but spent 1200 dollars on an htpc

Hell yeah,prices on tech drop so quick it's ridiculous, ridiculously good!, and really the HDTV phenomena to me isn't really about status quo, the unbelievable picture and sound quality is what i'm in it for, plus i pirate my own blu-rays,which play on my 360 and ps3,it's great!!!!

my 32" crt is just fine :laugh:

That's what I'm saying. I never got into the whole flat screen hi-def lcd BS. My old 32" box suits me just fine.

IMO if you can get one without hurting yourself than do it. The best picture out there right now no ghosting very little power, runs cool as can be. If you can not get one go with a nice top end LCD. I would get the LED if I could OMG there nice.

I never cared to much about tv's either until I got to see a blu ray on a nice plasma tv. I was hooked. Being older now and having 2 kids I watch alot of movies now and would never go back to plain dvds. But just like car audio nothing is ever enough and the way technology is going something is going to blow led tv's out of the water by next ces.

exactly what im thinking, i cant even go back lol

those LED TV's are awesome, I definitely want one but honestly the price is just ridiculous just like when LCDs or Plasma TVs first came out.. give it a year or two, all of the prices will be much lower, and then that is when I will buy one :D I already got 46 inch Sony Z series 1080p 120hz TV.. I guess I am such a sucker when it comes to TVs lol..

on a side note, I was looking thru best buy website for heck of it and I was amazed that there is even a 240 hz TV.. my god 120hz just came out few months ago (i got a 120 hz tv) and now there is 240hz out already wtf lol, seriously technology does not know how to slow down hah..

but seriously 120hz is already awesome, i cant imagine 240hz.. unless it is like a plateau after 120hz which everything would look just the same above 120hz? I gotta do some research I guess

This.

If I want HDTV in the future, I'll just get a projector. TV's just not that important to me.

Plasma still has the best picture you can get but it also has its disadvantages. The Samsung B9000 is supposed to be the best lcd tv on the market right now, I am going to check them out soon.

there will always be something better coming along, thats just the way it is

i paid $4k for my 40" Mitsubishi tube back in 1995 when it was considered a "reference" set. today even though it is the largest tube ever made it is only worth a few hundred at most.

i wont pay more than $1k for a tv again.

Plasma is the best right now, yes, but once OLED is in full production it will stomp the plasma sets. Fully black blacks, white whits and everything in between. They will be awesome.

makes me wonder if those typical tv wall mounts will work on led TVs? or there are mounts made specifically for those led tvs?

i see that

thats cool.. thats like ultra slim mount, but im wondering if any mount would work?

Im sure it is so much easier to mount those led tvs since they should not be as heavy as the lcd or plasma tvs?

I live in basement at a house near my college, the walls arent that sturdy.. I opted not to mount my 46 inch Sony even though I really want to do that (I think it is going to be pain in the *** tho)

but now I m wondering if I would be able to get away with mounting led tv there? (sure would **** if it fell down lol)

As long as you anchor it in the studs it should be fine. I wouldn't trust any TV mounted to some drywall.

Thats what I hoping for. I want one bad, but I don't need it. I may wait until the end of next year to get one, but mannnnn.
